    Pistachio latte
    Franchesca L.

    The pistachio latte here is soooo good!! They make the pistachio syrup that they put on top in house!! I wish I ordered a large cup after my first sip!

    Spinach pastry
    Connie C.

    I'm glad to finally tick this place off of my list. Being a corner shop, it should be visited more often, but I just keep on forgetting. The shop is pretty small, with some bar level counter on the side for standing room, you got a view of the bagel bar, a table full of Turkish treats, and a side shelf of fresh bouquets. Some outside seating without much barrier from the dust and smog of El Camino Real. Not the outdoor view I wanted, so my visit is more of a grab and go. I'm very curious about the food items here. I only came in for one small treat and my most needed caffeine fix. Got a spinach pastry and a black sesame latte. Pretty much on any of their specialty coffee, they have a matcha version of it. When I remember to turn into their lot again, I'm planning on trying their cardamom match or pistachio matcha. Maybe topping it off with a bagel if I want the calories, the spinach pastry tastes alright but held on like a limp d___. Not my type of pastry.

    Coffee here is phenomenal. That's reason enough to come on its own. We tried the Mana'eesh, sausage and a cheese with lots of zaatar and both were really good. Perfect serving for one. And had a nice little salad on the side with a hard boiled egg. The cafe was really cute and cozy with a good amount of outdoor seating as well. Would be a great place for a date or to catch up with friends. Already can't wait to come back for another cardamom latte and to try some of their Turkish delights.

    Ginger Pull Apart, Pistachio Matcha, Cardamom Spice Latte
    Elaine Y.

    Walked down to Zorek to give it a try and it was pretty good, but there were definitely areas of improvement in my opinion. Given its size, we decided to snag a table upon arrival but given we had never been before, it would have been helpful if a couple laminated menus were available. Eventually boyfriend just told me dealer's choice so I got us a ginger pull apart since almost every pastry was sold out and a zataar and cheese manakeesh to have a savory balance. The ginger pull apart was pulled out the pastry case but wasn't warmed or offered to be warmed and as such, it was hard, dry, and not great in that state. There were moments where I could tell it had potential but the texture was just off putting. As for the drinks, my cardamom latte was delish! Boyfriend's pistachio matcha was interesting...not sure how we felt about it. The matcha was the stronger of the two flavors. The flatbread took a bit of time to come out but it was really tasty! It was a little annoying having to get up and check periodically on the status of this dish though. Not sure the purpose of ordering "for here". Overall, I will be back. It's great to have a tasty cafe within walking distance that's not just a Starbucks.

    Zorek cafe shares the same owners as the restaurant Mazra, it offers Mediterranean-inspired beverages and breakfast/lunch items. Seatings are limited (outdoor only) and the food is mainly for to-go. You order from the counter and grab your beverages and food when they call your names. My favorite is (still) their Pistachio Latte. Coffee is on the pricey side ($7 for a small specialty latte) in this neighborhood, I come over occasionally for a treat.

    Signing back in later to add the photo of the Veggie Heaven bagel. We stopped by this local cafe on Monday after our visit to Barnes & Noble. When we got to the cafe we noticed that it was outdoor seating only so the view you get is of the street, which isn't too nice. Inside the cafe was really cute. We ordered 4 items: 1. Veggie Heaven bagel ordered on a Jalapeno Cheddar bagel. This was toasted to perfect but I wish it was slightly less toasted so you can get a chew on the breading inside. Otherwise, the toasted bread paired well with the fresh vegetables for a light and savory bite. The chef did not skimp us on the cream cheese filling. 2. Zaatar and cheese flatbread. We thought this item was interesting but just okay. It was edible and exactly what's advertised. However, be careful chewing. I'm not sure what goes into toasting the flatbread but one bite I thought I broke my tooth on a seed or something. Not sure what it was. The flatbread itself was a little salty for our liking but if you immediately have a cherry tomato or a bite of the side cucumber, you can cut through a bit of that saltiness. 3. Tiramisu latte was really good! As the ice melted, I feel like the drink tasted even better. There was no acidity in the coffee so the drink was easy on our stomachs. 4. Salted caramel latte was also really easy on the stomach and a perfect pairing for the bagel. Overall we do think we will be back but next time we will order the flatbread with the sausage instead.

    Holiday ambiance so cute

    Officially one of my favorite places to grab a good quality Iced Latte! They specialize in a good quality Iced Pistachio Latte. I wished they had other Latte flavors as I love the quality of their coffee. DRINKS: 9/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 DRINKS: 9/10 When I first tried their latte, I was stunned. The strong depth of the coffee balanced so well with the sweetness of the pistachio and creaminess of the in house pistachio whipped cream. This latte is well balanced and I love how I am not tasting any artificial flavors or too much sweetness. I substitute my drink for Oat milk and love that they use Califia Oat or Almond milk, so that's a bonus! Their drinks are pretty pricey but you truly get what you pay for. I am one to continue the hefty price if the quality is top tier and satisfies the way I like my latte's! Their Medium and Large size cups are long lasting as well so it takes me awhile to finish the drink! I still have yet to try their food. But they have a lot of savory food items and baked goods. SERVICE: 9/10 The staff are very friendly and passionate about using good fresh quality ingredients at their restaurant. AMBIANCE: 10/10 I truly lobe the ambiance here! It is very cozy and decorated with so many thoughtful pieces that signify where Zorek comes from! There is only outdoor seating. Parking is available but only a few spots!

    Smoked salmon/labneh/capers/cucumber on a toasted sesame bagel
    Anastasia M.

    What a great spot! Super charming, great music, parking. And I haven't even got to the food! I had the smoked salmon and labneh bagel with extra capers -- it was delicious, plus it also came with tomatoes, olives, a pickle slice and a cucumber slice. Perfection! With a delicious tiramisu latte, it made for the perfect little brunch! I highly recommend this spot and wish we lived closer!

    Ube Matcha
    Jake B.

    You need to try the Ube or Strawberry Matcha at ZOREK. It's easily the best one I've had, perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and super smooth. Shoutout to "B", who made mine. You can tell he's a true professional at his craft; the quality and consistency were spot on. It's rare to find someone who puts that much care into a drink. It's really nice to see what they've done with this old building that kept turning over businesses throughout the years. Keep up the great work! Highly recommend stopping by. I'll definitely be back for another one soon.

    I regret to write this review! I genuinely like this place's drinks and food but I haven't been able to eat or get my coffee here the last two times. It's genuinely the best coffee shop near Avalon apartments yet my last two times I have come back empty handed! Service has been bad! Visit 1 - the cashier told me that they have a private event so they can't serve food or coffee anymore and I had gone in at 4:30pm which is working hours! The cashier is our usual polite guy so I went on my way and found another coffee shop that added to my drive. Visit 2 Got there earlier than 4:30 this time and badly wanted coffee that time. I was also hungry so I wanted some borek too! The place was being run by a girl and a chef at that time. They were both working on a different to go order for 15 plus mins. They were prepping at least 15 to go boxes and didn't bother to update me until I asked what's going on. When I realized that my order is not going to be fulfilled today, I decided to walk away but wasn't met with any genuine apology or anything. Another group came and left because they also thought they weren't going to be able to get coffee that day. I genuinely hope to drink coffee there some day but with my last two experiences, I don't even know if they are open or making coffee when I go! Hey Owner, you should check in or help the staff when they are short staffed or offer return discounts when you guys turn people away!

    Chocolate hazelnut croissant, chomp chomp
    Peter K.

    Finally stopped at Zörek in San Bruno after driving past countless times saying "someday." Today was that day--and it was absolutely worth the wait. I ordered their chocolate hazelnut croissant with a small coffee ($11 total). The croissant? Yum, yum, yum. Perfectly flaky layers, rich chocolate filling, and that buttery finish that makes you close your eyes. The coffee was the perfect complement. This is a Levantine bakery house café with so much more on the menu I can't wait to try. If you've been driving past like I was, stop making excuses. This place delivers. Zörek, San Bruno

    Pistachio Latte
    Annie S.

    Wow! Really awesome coffee shop. Great food options to go or enjoy in their patio. Located at the corner of a busy street. They had sweets and some breakfast items but I was just there to grab coffee to go. The iced pistachio latte was so good! One of the best I've ever had. The cream on top wasn't too sweet either and there were sprinkles of pistachio on top. Highly recommend!

That said, it's not bad at all, and when you're in San Bruno/Millbrae and don't feel like driving into SF Chinatown, this is one of the better local options. Not too many solid Chinese bakeries around here, so it fills the gap without being a total letdown. Best egg tarts are still at Golden Gate Bakery in SF Chinatown--no contest. Theirs have that perfect silky, jiggly custard and buttery crust that makes you want to go back immediately. Suzanne's is fine for a quick fix, but if you can make the trip, skip this and head to GG Bakery instead. Solid neighborhood spot if you're lazy like me and want something nearby, but don't expect it to blow your mind.

Order at the counter for takeout. They have a bit of regular buns as well as pies and other western style buns. They sell whole fruit cakes too. 8-inch round mango cake was $39. Chinese buns prices hovering around $3 were as pricey as the ones found in the South Bay Area/San Jose. Upkeep isn't the best though/more outdated. We purchased a cocktail bun/a mushroom & cheese bun/a ham & cheese/a hot dog bun/and a coconut pineapple bun. The 5-pieces were decent in size, but were stuffed into two paper bags for us which was quite different than what we expected. Buns made the paper bags very oily. We should have asked for a small box or something. They have good selections, but taste is average and doesn't stand out. Whole cakes look tempting though. Cashier needs to smile more. Overall, it's a tiny bakery for convenience. Not bad nor great here. I would look around for better options elsewhere.

Chewy buttery and soft in texture. Don't skip this. * garlic shrimp- this was recommended by the cashier but it was quite lacking in depth of flavor with the primary taste just being garlic. No spice, nothing special to stand out. After a while the sauce gets tiring. Mac salad was prominently peppery but bland in both texture and flavor. * Mochiko chicken - Not bad, crunchy battered chicken. Interior of the chicken was juicy but lacking in that distinct strong sweet savory that mochiko chicken is known for. Again, the mac salad was a letdown. Overall, the food was quite average especially for the price point. I can think of two places in SJ with better Hawaiian food for half the price.

It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move.

It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks.

Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself.
